Blueberries help fight infection and strengthen
the immune system ...
Scientists have discovered many health benefits from blueberries.
They are one of the richest sources of anti-oxidants of the thousands
of fruits and vegetables that have been studied so far. Infact,
the blueberry was ranked number one in antioxidant activity in
a recent study when compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables.
Antioxidants are responsible in part for keeping
us healthily and young. They help fight cell damaging "free
radicals".
Free radicals are unstable substances that our
bodies produce as we get older. They damage human cells and our
DNA.
The phytochemicals responsible for making the blueberry the healthiest
fruit around are
anthocyanins. These are found in other berries but there are more
of them in blueberries. They help combat free - radical damage,
helping to ward off cancer, strokes and other age related diseases.
Anthocyanins can help reduce eyestrain and improve night vision.
They may also help prevent macular degeneration, a leading cause
of blindness.
Blueberries have also shown to not only halt the ageing process
but actually reverse it! Experiments have also indicated that eating
Blueberries improves short term memory loss and improves balance
and co-ordination.
